Updated 17 October 2026 — IJM service and safety terms

Indigenous Job Match (IJM) is operated by Cultural Nexus Indigenous Corporation (ABN 14 905 985 838; ICN 10462). These terms describe use of the IJM website and job board. Contact admin@indigenousjobmatch.com.au for assistance.

1. Jobseekers and age-appropriate support

IJM provides job information and IJM-managed career support. People under 18 may register for jobseeker support. IJM will discuss suitable opportunities, support needs and consent before a managed introduction. Registration does not establish that every advertised job is suitable for a young person. Employment age, hours, supervision and other requirements depend on the role and relevant law.

The under-18 jobseeker arrangement is specific to IJM and replaces any inconsistent general group statement that all IJM users must be at least 18. Employer accounts, purchases and contracts must be handled by an adult with authority to act for the organisation. Any agreement involving a young person must take account of their capacity and applicable law; these terms do not remove protections for children.

2. Accounts, information and introductions

Provide accurate information and keep your login details private. Do not use someone else's account. Report suspected unauthorised access promptly. Phone numbers, resumes and cultural information are optional at registration; do not upload identity documents, bank details or unrelated sensitive information.

IJM manages contact for its referrals. Candidate profiles are hidden from employers through the current board configuration. Selecting “Available for work” does not itself authorise employer access or disclosure. IJM will seek agreement about the employer, purpose and information to be shared for a managed introduction. Optional cultural information requires a separate agreement before disclosure to an employer.

Some advertisements direct applicants to an employer or another website. An application submitted there is handled by that organisation under its terms and privacy notice. Check the destination and information requested before applying. IJM does not guarantee an interview, employment or the conduct of an employer.

3. Employer and advertiser responsibilities

Employers must have authority to advertise a genuine role and provide accurate business, role, pay and employment-condition information. Listings and recruitment practices must comply with applicable employment, advertising and anti-discrimination laws. If eligibility is restricted, the advertiser must establish the lawful basis; describing a role as “identified” or “targeted” is not sufficient by itself.

Employers must not charge applicants to obtain a job, misrepresent a role, impersonate another organisation, harvest candidate information, or use recruitment information for unrelated marketing. Requests for identity, banking or health information must be necessary, lawful and made through an appropriate process at the proper stage.

Any candidate information lawfully provided must be used only for the agreed recruitment purpose, protected against unauthorised access and retained only as needed or required by law. Employers must obtain any further consent required for onward disclosure and cooperate with privacy and safety requests.

4. Cultural safety and prohibited behaviour

Racism, harassment, bullying, threats, grooming, sexual exploitation, impersonation, scams, doxxing and retaliation against someone who reports a concern are prohibited. Do not publish private information about another person, culturally restricted material without authority, child sexual abuse material or other illegal content. Do not misuse cultural information to shame, stereotype or discriminate against a person.

Do not send spam or malware, bypass access restrictions, scrape candidate information or interfere with security controls.

5. Review, reporting and decisions

New employer profiles, candidate profiles and job listings are subject to approval controls. Approval is a moderation step, not a guarantee of an employer's conduct, job suitability or complete verification. IJM may ask for more information, decline publication, restrict access or remove material where needed to address misuse, risk or legal obligations.

Report concerns to admin@indigenousjobmatch.com.au. Include the relevant link, dates, a short description and a safe way to contact you. Do not send harmful images, passwords, identity documents or bank details. See Safety and Support for safe reporting and external assistance.

IJM checks reports daily at 6 pm Brisbane time, with backup cover when the lead is unavailable. This is not a continuously monitored emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 000. Urgent matters are prioritised when identified; investigation and resolution times depend on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements.

Where appropriate and lawful, IJM will explain a restriction or moderation decision and how to seek review. Contact the reporting address with the decision and reasons for requesting review. An uninvolved director should review a disputed decision where practicable. Information may be limited where disclosure would compromise safety, privacy or a legal process.

6. Privacy and content

Read the IJM Privacy Policy for collection, consent, sharing, overseas processing, retention and requests. A privacy notice does not replace any consent required for sensitive information.

You retain ownership of content you submit. You give IJM permission to host and use it only as needed to provide the requested service, subject to your privacy choices and applicable law. You must have the right to submit it. Submission does not permit unrestricted public use of private candidate information.

7. Payments, service limits and your rights

Any paid product's price, duration and specific conditions must be stated before purchase. Existing agreed commercial terms continue to apply to the extent lawful. These safety updates do not change a previously agreed price or renewal arrangement.

IJM uses third-party platforms and cannot promise uninterrupted service, complete security or a successful recruitment outcome. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies rights, consumer guarantees or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law. IJM remains responsible for its own legal obligations.

8. Account closure and updates

You may stop using IJM and request account closure through admin@indigenousjobmatch.com.au. Job Boardly's published default flags accounts after 12 months of inactivity and sends a warning before deletion if there is no login within the following 30 days. See the privacy notice for retention and lawful exceptions.

These terms and the IJM-specific privacy notice apply to IJM's service; separate employer application sites have their own terms. Applicable Australian law governs IJM's service, without taking away mandatory rights under other applicable laws. We will publish updates and give any further notice required by law. Material changes to existing agreements will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
